Washington (9-5, 1-0) built a 17-point halftime lead, 40-23, due in large part to its transition game. With Wilcox and Williams-Goss leading the way, the Huskies got up and down the floor to stress the Sun Devils defensively. Washington shot over 60 percent in the first half.

Before the Huskies get to face the No. 1-ranked Arizona Wildcats on Saturday, they face an 11-2 Arizona State team that can shoot well and boasts one of the quicker point guards in the league in sophomore Jahii Carson. Carson is averaging 19.3 points and 5.3 assists per game so far this season.

Aziz N’Diaye converted a three-point play off an offensive rebound with 34 seconds left, Shawn Kemp Jr. scored a career-high 18 in just his second start and the Huskies held off The Sun Devils 96-92 on Saturday night despite 32 points from Arizona State’s Jahii Carson.
